A day after Mike Singletary sat down for a feisty interview with Dennis O’Donnell of KPIX, the clip was removed from the station’s website.

A 49ers spokesman said Friday that he was unaware of whether the team asked for the video to be removed from the website. He added that the KPIX segment — dubbed “Coach’s Corner” — is done every Thursday by contractual agreement.

In it, the 49ers coach grew irritated when O’Donnell asked about a Yahoo! Sports story that detailed communication problems with the 49ers offensive staff.

Singletary was set off by the fact the Yahoo story questioned Jimmy Raye, who has been an NFL assistant since 1977. “Don’t base a man’s entire career on a dang-gum Yahoo commercial,” Singletary snapped.

Things didn’t fare much better when O’Donnell moved on to the upcoming Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints. When he asked about trying to stop Drew Brees, Singletary interjected: “We will not try to stop Drew Brees. We will stop Drew Brees. Next question.”

O’Donnell suggested they talk about trying to move the ball against the New Orleans defense. “We will not try to move the ball against the New Orleans defense,” Singletary answered. “We will move the ball, and we will score.”

During an eight-year career, Brian Westbrook has been kept off the field by a torn triceps, a broken rib, an ankle sprain and a concussion.

Last week, he was sidelined by a broken offense.

“I was prepared to play,” Westbrook said Friday. “I just didn’t get any opportunities.”

Westbrook and backup quarterback David Carr were the only players to suit up against the Seahawks without taking the field. Raye said he planned on getting Westbrook into the action, but the nature of the game dictated otherwise. The 49ers fell behind early, and Raye stuck with Frank Gore at running back because of Gore’s proven pass-protection skills in the team’s system.

Westbrook is hoping for a better fate Monday at Candlestick Park, but there are no guarantees. Asked if he expects to take the field, Westbrook said: “I have no clue. You’d have to ask Jimmy that.”

Westbrook said he could not recall missing a game while healthy. It happened on Jan. 2, 2005, when the Philadelphia Eagles rested their star running back in the regular-season finale in advance of the playoffs.

Asked if he was frustrated by his view from the bench, Westbrook was diplomatic.

“You’re a player. You want to play. But I think Frank did a good job when he had opportunities to run the ball, so it’s hard to take him out any plays,” he said.

Gore (7,475 yards) and Westbrook (7,046) give the 49ers two of the top five leaders in yards from scrimmage since 2005. Westbrook said that he expects to be used whenever Gore needs a breather but doesn’t envision many scenarios in which they are on the field at the same time.

It’s up to the coaches, Westbrook said.

“The situation for me is: Whenever my number is called, be prepared and ready to play,” he said.

Linebacker Patrick Willis was limited in practice Friday because of knee and thumb injuries. Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky was asked if the thumb was broken.

“No, I don’t think it is. That would be news to me,” Manusky replied. “He’s fine. He’ll be ready to go on Monday.”

Center Eric Heitmann (fibula) is the only player listed as out on the injury report. Ted Ginn Jr. (knee), cornerback Will James (ankle) and right guard Chilo Rachal (stinger) did not participate in practice.

A transit village with apartments, retailers, restaurants and a hotel is rising in Milpitas next to The Great Mall, close to light rail and the under-construction BART station. It’s one of several Silicon Valley projects sprouting up near transit.
